Entrance to Maple Grove Cemetery, April 23, 1936. At the far right of this photograph, the Victorian Administration Building of Maple Grove Cemetery can be seen, with its tall peaked tower. Designed by James Ware and completed in 1880, the structure welcomed visitors entering at the Lefferts Boulevard and Kew Gardens Road entrance. All administrative functions of the cemetery were into this building by the mid 20th century. Those same functions were moved out of the building in 2009 when the new Center Building was completed. Today it remains well-kept, but empty. The house seen at left is no longer standing.
